Fighters you fear will have CTE?

Benoit was not well looking at his face:

this is sad it was my favorite Wrestler of all time, but what he did with his family is unforgivable.

he gave his soul and body to Wrestling and lost his brain, wife and childrens.


Chris was my favorite wrestlers aswell, the day he passed I quit watching cold turkey. Too many wrestlers we're dropping like flies Chris was the final straw for me.
Bothers me that's he's become a joke associated with CTE.
Nothing like watching Benoit blow snott on someone and proceed to kick his ass lol

On subject : Justin & Overeem seem like good candidates
 
Haha shiit, honest? BB has the best chance out of anyone right now. Much rather see my boy smash Jones first before we talk about BB lmao
I wanna see jones smashed to jam too,

but beast just got ngannous number. And will beat ngannou easily again.

ngannou just keeping that belt warm for him.
 
Nate Diaz for sure

Sean Salmon after taking that kicked from Shad
 
Robbie, Gaethje, JDS, Hunt, Diego, Wyman, Wand, Chuck, Ferguson and probably Stipe
 
Diego Sanchez
Chuck Liddell
Dan Henderson
Shogun
Mcgregor
Nate Diaz
Tony Ferguson
BJ
Robbie Lawler
Rory Macdonald
 
Big Nog, Wand
Wandy acknowledged thah he had most of the symptoms ages ago(Shocking¡). Then he came back to fight Rampage.

Those Shooto guys that have to keep figting two decades after their prime to pay their bills are clear candidates, but we¡ll never heard of them for the most part.
 
Doesn't Babalu have some issues from fighting
 
I wish all of them good luck in their future life and hope nothing too serious happens to them, actually nothing at all but that is unlikely.

But I really fear for Tony. That beat down with Gaethje was bad, so is his wars with Pettis, Lando Vannata, Barboza and Cerrone. It probably would’ve been better if he didn’t have such a good chin because that would’ve reduced a lot of damage.

I think thats really the most dangerous aspect, someone like Goodridge for example I suspect the really damaging spell of his career was the late 00's were he was just being paid to take beatings.

The Reem is immune to CTE...he just shakes it off.

Normal human, with that many brutal KO/Tko losses, would have died-ed already.
True. He has to be some kind of a medical miracle.
 
Fedor, BJ, Holloway, Shogun, Edgar<2>
 
most living pro fighters have some form of CTE. even pro wrestlers who werent known for a dangerous style, and had relatively short careers, like test (andrew martin), had CTE. not a lot is actually known about CTE and to what extent it really impacts somebodys life or personality, despite whatever sensationalist claims dr omalu likes to make
 
I think Stipe already has it I can't understand a word that man says.
 
CTE is really variable both in terms of incidence and severity ... and the reasons aren’t clearly understood.

The vast majority of contact sports athletes and almost all professional fighters receive some brain injuries and consequently have more or less permanent damage, unfortunately.

However from then on the variability is huge ... someone with a few mild concussions might develop debilitating pugilist dementia at 30, whilst someone else with decades of wars and scary KOs might be impeccably articulate at 60 (Overeem seems to be heading that way),

No clear explanation why, genetics and lifestyle likely playing important roles.
